dollars month pension Capt. Mitch
ell made business trip to Lawrence
county,. Mrs. Stephenson and her
daughter Mrs. Winfield Scott, of Coalton,
are in town to-day. .... "A young Repub-
lican kept sort of list of the Prohibition
vote, and made the discovery that about as
many Democrats as Republicans voted
that ticket In this connection we might
state that last year, with four hundred
Prohibition votes in the county, the rela-
tive strength of the two old parties was
scarcely changed. I'VE have some
amusing experiences, in listening to the
comments upon the result of the election.
The situation is so mixed that it is impos- |
sible for some of the boys to place the re-
sponsibility. The Republicans over in
the Second Precinct rather have the joke |
on the First Precinct boys, however. On |
our side we elected crippled Union sol |
dier Assessor. In the first, with big |
Republican majority, they elected an ex-
Confederate soldier over an old Union |
soldier. Some of the politician are striv- |
ing to get their heads above water long /
enough to "cuss" somebody, but there is |
only "splutter" and "chunkl" and down
they go again.
FRIDAY.-A beautiful day. About |
noon the fre-bell sounded an alarm, and |
the boys made the usual racket, over a |
little blaze at a house near the depot. No |
damage to amount to anything. Jim
my, little son of J. NJ. Trip, investigated
the mystery of the pump at the residence
of E. c. Powell, this forenoon, by sticking |
his finger into one of the working parts, |
crushing the end of it pretty badly. 49,.
Judge miller and his daughter Miss Mag
gle went to Hamden to meet Miss Katie
Botkin, who had been to Columbus, doc
torfng for weak eyes. The old Globe
Furnace is being hauled away for scrap
iron, that is, what is left of it. This re-
minds us of the experience of Mr.. Pollock,
in selling one of the lots of the old Orange
property. He remarked that he would
have taken three hundred dollars for the
lot, when in fact he sold nearly three hun
dred dollars worth of iron off of it,.
I'm od TO -Iox
New York, where she went last last Sum-
mer, with the family of Mr.. Holcomb. =.
The sick people seem to be failing rap
idly. Miss Eva Baldridge is worse, Mrs.
Milton Phillips is thought to be dying,

to be smiling upon the death-beds of the
people.

SUNDAY.-A most beautiful Spring
day. The Temperance meeting at the
Rink was well attended, and there were
two splendid addresses, by Elder Arbuckle
and Rev, F. R. Crooks, of Coalton. Both
these Ministers are earnest, enthusiastic
Temperance workers. and if all ministers
should take as decided ground as these
two on this great question. the Temper
ance cause would advance more rapidly.
But the work is moving along. The dog
gery-keepers affect to rejoice that the local
option matter failed, but their smile de-
generates to sickly grimace, because
those who have been their customers are
one by one becoming ashamed of their
connacG;on with the filthy dens. Every |
teacher, every parent, every good man,
everv pood woman, should use every pos |
